YA
High-achieving, hyper-rational Addie is certain she's too cerebral to fall in love--until she meets Kris. That Kris was once involved in vandalizing their school's science lab, the center of all Addie holds dear, lies at the heart of the many obstacles to their relationship. A complex narrative structure and an endearingly awkward heroine help compensate for the romance plot's predictability.

When Gigi, Bea, and Neerja don't make the "hot" list on the boys' bathroom wall, they decide to make themselves known. Previously concerned only with getting into the Ivy Leagues, they join theater, the ski team, and run for student rep--and gain new friends and male attention. Female readers will respect Strohmeyer's smart, strong-minded characters amidst the high school drama.
